Typhoon Onday Relief As many of you may already know, the Philippine islands have been hit by Typhoon Ondoy. The effects of this typhoon were so severe that over a quarter of a million people have been displaced from their homes. In an attempt to help these people in their time of need The World Modern Arnis Alliance along with the Buffalo Martial Arts and Fitness Expo and the Can-Am Filipino Martial Arts Summit are setting up a station for those who wish to donate to help the people in their time of need. We will be accepting cash, money orders and PayPal donations at the Expo. This money will then be sent to the Filipino Red Cross. For those who are planning sizeable donations, we recommend sending the funds directly to the Filipino Red Cross. If you need help making your donation through PayPal, please send to admin@wmarnis.com. We will forward all donations received to the Filipino Red Cross.

We are proud to announce that on October 17-18, Buffalo NY will host the first annual Buffalo Martial Arts and Fitness Expo.

Whether you are relatively new to martial arts or a seasoned martial artist, the Buffalo Martial Arts and Fitness Expo has something for everyone. Special features of the event will include two international tournaments and seminars taught by industry leaders, along with a premier trade show.

On October 17, the Expo will feature the Queen City Laban Laro VII. The Queen City Laban Laro is one of the area’s longest running tournaments. This year’s event has more divisions than any other regional tournament offers. To date, there are 170 divisions. In addition to the standard events of forms, weapons and fighting that most competitions offer, there will also be divisions in grappling, stick fighting, self defense, breaking and musical forms.

On October 18, the Expo will host the second Can-Am Border Battle. This will be an international team competition featuring weapons, kata, point fighting and stick fighting as its events. In addition to individual awards to competitors, there are also team medals for the countries participating in this event. Last year’s results had the gold medal and Can-Am Cup going to Team Canada, Team USA took silver and NAFMA International took bronze. For more information go to www.canamborderbattle.com
